Caleb Williams will launch his second professional season with the Bears after an underwhelming rookie campaign.
Williams totaled 3,541 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and just six interceptions in his first year, but he was also sacked a league-high 68 times as Chicago stumbled to a 5-12 record. With a full year under his belt, Williams will begin his second season against the Dolphins in Week 1 of the 2025 preseason.
The Bears will look to improve in a competitive NFC North, while the Dolphins will attempt to get back above .500. Miami finished 8-9 last year and missed the playoffs, and the main question heading into this season is whether Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.
